Why did Paul go to Jerusalem after several years?
In his Epistle to the Galatians, Paul said that after his conversion, he travelled to Arabia, then Damascus (bypassing Jerusalem), Jerusalem, then Syria and Cilicia, and then, after a period of fourteen years, back to Jerusalem (Galatians 1:17-2:1).Paul's second visit to Jerusalem was so that he could communicate, to the leaders of the Jerusalem church, the gospel that he was preaching among the gentiles. He says he communicated this privately to the men of reputation in Jerusalem so that he should not run in vain, perhaps meaning that he wished to avoid a public disagreement over doctrine.
Where did Paul remain for the next eight or nine years?
A:There are considerable challenges in harmonising Paul's own account of his travels with that in Acts of the Apostles. Since Acts was written some fifty years after Paul died, the following information comes from Paul's own account. In his Epistle to the Galatians, Paul said that after his conversion, he travelled to Arabia, then Damascus (bypassing Jerusalem), Jerusalem, then Syria and Cilicia, and back to Jerusalem (Galatians 1:16-2:1). At some stage after the second visit to Jerusalem, he appears to have visited Antioch with Peter. He must have spent 3 years in Damascus, 14 years in Syria and Cilicia, and indeterminate periods in the other centres. The record stops here, but it seems that Paul intended to travel to Rome and probably then to Spain. Clement of Rome, writing around 100 CE, seems to believe that Paul did travel to Spain and spend his last days there.

What church replaced the church in Jerusalem as the center of Christianity?
After Christianity was repressed for centuries, the main center of Christianity moved to Rome. It remained there for nearly 1,000 years until the Protestant Reformation.
How many years was it between Paul's conversion and martyrdom?
It should be noted that Paul himself, in Galatians, mentions that he returned to Jerusalem again 14 years after his conversion, but there is no further information on the events of these years. We also know that, following this final visit to Jerusalem, Paul was held prisoner for two years, until his case was reopened in AD 59. After this, he used his position as a Roman citizen to appeal to Caesar, and he was then escorted to Rome in AD 60, where he awaited trial for another two years. This would mean a minimum of 16 years (and an unknown maximum) for the time between Paul's conversion and his martyrdom - if indeed he was martyred.
When did Paul decide to travel as a missionary?
AnswerIn his Epistle to the Galatians, Paul seems quite clear about his main travels for his first twenty years as a missionary. He said that after his conversion, he travelled first to Arabia, then Damascus (bypassing Jerusalem), Jerusalem, then Syria and Cilicia, and back to Jerusalem. Paul spent 3 years in Damascus, but escaped the city when the governor under Aretas, king of the Nabateans from 9 BCE to 40 CE, had a garrison deployed to arrest him because of his Christian activities. This information gives us a first-cut estimate for the start of Paul's missionary work There is no reason at this stage to assume that the escape should have occurred near the end of the king's reign, a somewhat improbable coincidence, but if it did then Paul's conversion was around the year 36.On the other hand, Acts of the Apostles says that Paul went first to Damascus and Jerusalem. After some short trips in Palestine, he began his "first missionary journey" to Antioch, Seleucia, Cyprus, South Galatia and back to Antioch and Jerusalem. After a series of three long missionary journeys, Acts has Paul charged and brought before Herod Agrippa, who died in 44 CE. If this is correct and if Paul had already been an apostle for over twenty years, then his conversion and decision to become a missionary would have needed to occur sometime in the early 20s of the first century, too early for the traditional history of Christianity.
